Heroes Can Be Dangerous

In times of need, we often look for heroes to guide us through, or to make sense of what we're doing. Yet heroes come in many shapes and sizes, and not all of them are good.

The 3DO Hits America and Japan Awaits

Leading up to its North American launch in October 1993, while the 3DO still had problems (including a much-reduced launch line up due to developers getting to grips with the new hardware), excitement was still growing. Multimedia was the future, as multiple video games and entertainment magazines were loudly screaming from their pages. News programmes were also talking about a future where a set-top box would be the hub of your entertainment set-up: from TV to movies, sports, videogames, and more. As such, 3DO was ideally placed to be at the forefront of this next wave. However, as the months played down, it became clear that the launch wasn't going to be everything 3DO needed it to be. Because of the hardware and chips being used, the cost of the console was going to come in at an astronomical $700 (although manufacturers could set their own price, which would see a reduction soon after launch). There was also only one game available, Crash 'n' Burn from Crystal Dynamics. While it wasn't a terrible game, it was in no way an example of the jaw-dropping graphics gamers had been promised in the months leading up to the launch. However, Trip Hawkins and his partners were nothing if not savvy marketers, and they kept interest in the system piqued over the holiday period. Sneak peaks and trailers of the games to come looked to show 3DO owners they had made the right choice, as did upcoming accessories like the modem and expandable memory. And there was also the bonus of a surprise success in an unexpected market...

Why We Need to Let Kids Be Kids

As parents, we can add pressure to the lives of our kids without realizing it. Instead of enjoying life as a kid, they're worrying about approval from us instead, and it's harming their growth. By adding this pressure, we're setting them up to fail, and potentially leading to deeper issues in later life, including mental health and behavioral problems. In short, we're failing our kids, and we need to start asking why this is the case, and how can we fix it. In this week's show, I chat about why we need to recognize the signs of our kids feeling pressure, and how we can redress this before it's too late. Topics on the menu include How we're adding unnecessary pressure on our kids How our disappointment over something little can be huge for our kids Why we need to realize that smarter does not mean better How strangers at a Gay Pride parade made kids feel loved again Settle back for a discussion on whether the happiness we're seeking for our kids is actually for them or more about ourselves, and why we need to make sure it's for the right reasons.

On Being Diagnosed with Depression

A couple of weeks ago, I was diagnosed with depression. I think I knew I had some issues, but didn't want to face them head on. In episode 16 of Life Through a Dram, I talk about finally realizing I needed help, and why we need to talk openly about depression. Topics on the menu include: The moment I couldn't take another step forward Realizing I had depression Why we need to treat mental health the same way we treat physical ailments How to be a friend to someone with mental health issues Why mental health issues isn't something that "just goes away" How open and honest conversations are the only way we'll end the stigma around mental health If you need someone to talk to, or you want to understand more about friends with mental health issues, I highly recommend the website Mental Health and Me. *Disclaimer - this is my wife's website, but it's already an amazing resource for both people with mental health issues and those who wish to be a "better friend" to those that suffer from it.
